Saudi Banking Conference 2024 | Cogent Solutions Event Management | 12 February 2024 | Rosh Rayhaan by Rotana, Olaya St, Al Olaya, Riyadh 11564, Saudi Arabia

In the backdrop of a transformative phase within the financial industry, our event assumes a pivotal role as a guiding compass, offering participants insightful navigation through the multifaceted landscape of digital transformation, regulatory dynamics, financial inclusion initiatives, sustainable banking practices, and the critical cybersecurity terrain. Central to this discourse is the intriguing comparison between Neo Banks and Traditional Banks, a subject that captures the essence of the conference discussions.

The dichotomy between Neo Banks and Traditional Banks emerges as a focal point, sparking illuminating debates and analyses. Neo Banks, born in the digital age, epitomize innovation, agility, and customer-centricity. These tech-savvy financial entities operate primarily in the digital sphere, leveraging cutting-edge technologies to offer agile, user-friendly, and personalized banking experiences. Conversely, Traditional Banks, entrenched within established structures and legacy systems, symbolize stability, reliability, and extensive infrastructure.

The conference serves as a dynamic platform for dissecting and contrasting the fundamental attributes, strengths, and weaknesses of both Neo Banks and Traditional Banks. Discussions revolve around the nuances of their operational models, customer engagement approaches, technological prowess, regulatory compliance, and overall market impact.

Participants engage in comprehensive analyses, exploring the implications of this paradigm shift in banking. They scrutinize the transformative potential of Neo Banks in redefining traditional banking paradigms, the evolving customer expectations, and the necessary adaptations required for Traditional Banks to retain relevance in an increasingly digitalized landscape.
